  3. Neovasc in Summary A Canadian small cap medical device company with existing revenues & two development products:

  4. Reducer Product TreatsRefractory Angina • Angina – Constant and severe heart pain caused by inadequate blood flow to heart muscle • Refractory – Angina that cannot be managed through conventional drug, catheter or surgical therapy • Large & growing population of untreatable patients • Improved cardiac care leads to less mortality & more patients with advanced/end-stage disease

  5. Reducer Method of Action Reducer modulates outflow of blood from coronary veins, increasing blood flow to ischemic areas • Blood flow takes path of least resistance • Majority of blood flows around ischemic areas • Venous back pressure causes moreuniform distribution of blood flowthrough heart muscle • Forces more blood into ischemic areas • Relieves angina Reducer implanted in coronary sinus vein

  6. Reducer Procedure • Based on 1950’s surgical Beck Procedure • Reported excellent results but is no longer performed due to invasiveness • Reducer achieves same narrowing using modern non-surgical catheter-based techniques • Reducer procedure takes 20 minutes; patient discharged within 24 hours • Safely provides treatment for an otherwise untreatable patient CORONARY SINUS

  7. Average Thalium SPECT Severity Average Echo-Dobutamine Results Average CCS Class Baseline 6-mos 3-yrs Baseline 6-mos 3-yrs Baseline 6-mos 3-yrs Reducer Clinical Results Compelling clinical data from 1st human trial (15 patients, 3 centers) • 6-month data published in May 2007 JACC demonstrated safety & significant improvement of angina symptoms • 3-year follow-up data confirms excellent long-term safety & treatment durability (presented at ACC, March 2010) • Registry Data presented at EuroPCR 2013 shows strong indications of efficacy

  8. Reducer COSIRA Trial COSIRA(Coronary Sinus Reducer for Treatment of Refractory Angina) Double-blind, randomized, sham-controlled, multicenter, prospective trial • Enrollment completed in May 2013 (104 patients) • Randomized 1:1 to blinded treatment & sham control arms • Primary endpoint: Efficacy @ 6-months • Sites in Belgium, Canada, UK, Denmark, Sweden & Netherlands Data will support European market launch & provide pilot data for US FDA trial

  9. Reducer Timeline & Market Opportunity Europe • CE mark received November 2011 • Complete COSIRA enrollment in May 2013, with follow up completed by end of 2013. • Collect additional clinical data through ongoing Registries in Europe, UK & Israel • Launch with distribution partner(s) following completion of COSIRA United States • FDA IDE trial to be initiated following completion of COSIRA study Market size • ~2,000,000 existing “no option” refractory angina patients in US & Europe • ~400,000 new “no option” patients diagnosed annually • ~1,000,000 patients/year treated for “recurrent” angina

  10. Biological Tissue and Services Neovasc is a turnkey solution for industry partners developing transcatheter heart valves and other medical devices that incorporate pericardial tissue Tissue • Proprietary process creates implantable, biocompatible tissue from animal pericardium that retains strength & physical characteristics of natural tissue • Developed specifically for fabricating surgical heart valves • 20+ year implant history, FDA-cleared, CE-marked, EDQM-certified • State-of-the-art laboratories & manufacturing facilities Services • Tissue supply • Development & prototyping services • Pilot & commercial manufacturing

  11. Transcatheter Heart Valve Applications Neovasc is the leading independent supplier of biological leaflet material & related services to companies developing transcatheter heart valves 2011 sales of 1st generation transcatheter aortic valves $550M 2012 sales estimated $850M Next generation devices reach commercialization in 2013/14 Wider use expected as valves improve Currently supplying multiple programs Broad services from simple tissue supply to full OEM valve manufacturing

  12. Tiara™ Mitral Valve Replacement • Neovasc is developing Tiara, a novel transcatheter device for the treatment of mitral regurgitation (MR) • MR is serious & widespread condition that can cause significant disability or death • Significant portion of those with MR are non-surgical candidates • Tiara is a minimally-invasive device - delivered using a catheter inserted through apex of heart to replace the diseased mitral valve

  13. Tiara Key Features • Design is specific to mitral anatomy & matches natural shape of mitral annulus • Resists high dislodgment forces during systole • Exerts minimal radial force on mitral annulus • Does not inhibit LV function or obstruct LVOT • Preserves native structures in LV (chordae, papillary muscles) • Implantation can be completed in less than 5 minutes after obtaining apical access

  14. Tiara Development Timeline • Multiple patent applications filed • Refined valves & transapical delivery systems developed • Preclinical testing underway (bench, acute / chronic animal) • Durability (accelerated wear) testing underway • Clinical technique developed & refined through multiple animal implants • Expert medical advisory team assembled & active • Target first human implantation in early 2014

  15. Tiara Market Opportunity • Success of transcatheter aortic valves has positioned transcatheter mitral valve replacement as major area of industry/clinical interest • 600,000 new patients per year with MR in US & EU • Only 20% of diagnosed patients currently undergo surgery • Minimally invasive mitral valve replacement market potential estimated at >$1B

  16. Clinical Opinion Leaders • Leaders in interventional cardiology are assisting Neovasc programs • Dr. Shmuel Banai (Tel Aviv Medical Center) • Dr. Anson Cheung (St. Paul’s Hospital, Vancouver) • Dr. Elazer Edelman (Harvard – MIT, Cambridge) • Dr. Tim Henry (Minneapolis Heart Institute) • Dr. Marc Jolicoeur (Montreal Heart Institute) • Dr. Martin Leon (Columbia University Medical Center, NYC) • Dr. William O’Neill (Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit MI) • Dr. Jean-Francois Tanguay (Montreal Heart Institute) • Dr. Stefan Verheye(Antwerp Cardiovascular Institute) • Dr. Chris White (Ochsner Medical Center, New Orleans)

  17. Neovasc Looking Forward Continued growth of tissue business • Steady growth in 2013 • Upside potential as customers’ products commercialize in 2013 forward Complete COSIRA trial for Reducer & pilot launch in Europe • Release full efficacy data after 6-month follow up in Q4 2013 • Continue controlled EU release through REDUCE registries • Strategic partnership for wider EU launch in 2014 • Develop plan for FDA approval and US market entry with Partner Continued development of Tiara • Target first human study of Tiara in early 2014

  18. Neovasc Recap • Product leader in 3 separate fields • Neovasc Tissue and Contract Manufacturing – Growing revenues • Neovasc Reducer – CE marked & efficacy data in 2013 • Neovasc Tiara – Advancing towards first human use • Corporate Summary • Clean corporate structure 48.2m share issued, 57m fully diluted • Revenue growth of 50% over the last 4 years • ~$4m cash on hand as of October 2013 • Key investors including Frost Group, Gagnon Securities and Peregrine Ventures • Public small cap opportunity in rapidly growing transcatheter valve space
